Miami Dolphins: 2016

At this point, Adam Gase would probably just take a single season of full health from his starting quarterback to see what could happen.

Even though that wasn’t the case in 2016, Gase’s Dolphins put together the best season of his coaching career there and it didn’t come without some serious adversity.

The Dolphins started the season 1-4 and caught fire starting in mid-October, winning six straight games before a road game against the Baltimore Ravens humbled them significantly.

After the loss to the Ravens put the Dolphins at 7-5 on the season, they won three games in a row heading into a very important week 17 matchup against the New England Patriots, which they lost  by 21.

Still, despite the loss to New England, the Dolphins made their way to the postseason, but they were unable to get past the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Wild Card round.
